• Pistachio extract — 1/2 tsp (optional)
• Food colour — tiny drop (optional)
• All‑purpose flour — 240g (2 cups)

• Baking powder — 1/2 tsp (~2.5g)
• Baking soda — 1/2 tsp (2.5g)
• Salt — 1/2 tsp (~3g)
• White chocolate chips — 142g (~3/4 cup)
• Chopped pistachios — 50g (1/2 cup)
• Sweetened coconut — 50g (1/2 cup)
• Raffaello truffles — 8 (freeze for 30-40 minutes for the best results)
• Melted white chocolate — 80–100g
• Coconut + pistachios for topping — 10–15g each
Instructions
1. Add 120g cold cubed butter to a large bowl and beat for 1 minute until slightly softened.
2. Add 100g brown sugar and 50g granulated sugar, then beat for 3–5 minutes until creamy and smooth.
3. Add 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp pistachio extract, and a tiny drop of food colour directly into the butter mixture and mix until silky.
4. Add 240g flour, 2 tsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt, then mix on low until a soft dough forms.
5. Fold in 142g white chocolate chips, 50g pistachios, and 50g coconut until evenly mixed.
6. Divide dough into 8 portions (each 105–106g).
7. Flatten each portion gently, place 1 Raffaello in the center, wrap the dough around it completely, roll into a smooth ball, and add soft fingertip texture on top.
8. Place dough balls on a baking tray lined with a silicone mat.
9. Freeze for 15 minutes, then bake at 350°F (177°C) for 14 minutes until edges are set and tops are soft.
10. While cookies are hot, swirl a cookie ring around each one or push edges inward with a spatula to make them perfectly round.
11. Once cooled, spread melted white chocolate on top using a spoon.
12. Sprinkle pistachios and coconut while the chocolate is still soft, then let it set.
